EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion in 1898, as depicted in this beautiful example of Park Wear. The outfit features a jacket with narrow sleeves and a slight puff at the shoulder, creating a delicate balance between structure and fluidity. The bodice of the jacket is adorned with a d-shaped design, adding an element of modernity to the traditional Victorian style. The pointed revers, or lapels, are finished with a border of intricate machine stitching, adding texture and visual interest. The skirt of the ensemble is a scallop-edged over-skirt, with a side split that allows for ease of movement. The rounded cape, which covers the shoulders and arms, adds a touch of drama and protection against the elements. The outfit is completed with a saucer collar and jabot, as well as a yoke that accentuates the waistline. This Park Wear design represents the transition from Victorian to Edwardian fashion, with its combination of traditional elements and modern details. The use of machine stitching and the rounded cape are both indicative of the Edwardian era, while the saucer collar and jabot are reminiscent of Victorian style. The overall effect is one of timeless beauty and grace, making this an exquisite addition to any historical costume collection.
